Survey: GOPers less likely to ask sexual offenders in party to quit than Dems

Interesting statistic in the new TIME magazine cover story with the Person of the Year Award. According to a TIME/Survey Monkey poll when the accused offender was in their party only 54% of Republicans would demand a resignation as compared to 74% of Democrats if the offender was in theirs. A 20 percent gap - that's no small difference.

Why the huge difference? Maybe the acceptance of Trump had a lot to do with that, but it's hard to say.

For the those looking for the relevant text in the story, here it is:

That political divide was revealed in the TIME/SurveyMonkey poll, which found that Republicans were significantly more likely to excuse sexual misdeeds in their own party. The survey found that while a majority of Republicans and Democrats agree that a Democratic Congressman accused of sexual harassment should resign (71% and 74% respectively), when the accused offender was in the GOP, only 54% of Republicans would demand a resignation (compared to 82% of Democrats).

I think the Christianity is unfair but i get why you said that. It is the modern day face of conservatism though, which is sad.

After decades of marketing itself as the Christians' party, it's how it will be perceived. And unfair or not, perception is reality when it comes to the public eye. Christians supported Donald's candidacy and still support his presidency. Moore calls himself Christian. It will be hard for the masses to tease that apart.

I am not going to say who is Christian and who is not cause i don't know.
